Because BitTorrent is good at delivering large chunks of data with high throughput and high latency. Swarm is ALSO good at delivering small chunks of data with low latency, which is necessary for some anticipated applications.

To clarify my point: BT is stable, up & running, and could be used as DApp delivery mechanism immediately, while Swarm is in development. In the process Swarm design could be improved learning lessons from the experiment.

In other words would be nice if DApp delivery mechanisms were written as plugins to Mist/Eth. Swarm shouldn't be the only choice available.
